I wanted to make a list of Web Hosting providers who are in favor for supporting Let’s Encrypt. This means they have to support shared hosting too, not just the obvious vps/dedicated/cloud hosts whom already offer root access and whose customers can do it themselves. Most can be contacted via feedback@domain requesting them to add support for it including on their shared hosting if they provide it, or bug them on social networking like twitter or facebook.

No Support

In Progress:

These large providers are currently rolling out support for Let’s Encrypt for custom domains. You may or may not be able to enable support in their control panel, or you might notice certificates have recently been issued for your domains hosted with these services.

Planned:

Waiting/Delayed:

Unconfirmed:

Dedicated/VPS/Cloud Hosting:

All Dedicated, VPS, and Cloud IaaS hosting supports Let’s Encrypt with any client. This is not a link directory page.

No Planned Support:

NOTE: it may still possible to obtain and install Let’s Encrypt certificates with these providers, but it will require manually installing your own client or using a third-party website, and your hosting provider will not provide support for doing so.

Legend

1 = Premium service; not included by default, requires a higher package/plan.

Notes

I will try my best to monitor this post, PM’s, and any emails sent to me regarding being added. It’s a slow process. I appreciate your understanding.

Recently, this post has become so popular that is was turned into a wiki, anyone with (10?) posts can edit it. Please help me with this list if you have time and ability to check any new links by adding them. I appreciate everyone’s help in making the web safer!

We supported letsencrypt from the first hour of public beta: https://www.schokokeks.org/
(Fully automated, customers just switch on “Let’s Encrypt” for their host and all magic is done behind the scenes.)

But apart from that: I don’t like such lists. They are incomplete. And they don’t represent details such as if it’s working stable or easy to use. If your desired hoster cares about security does not simply mean if letsencrypt is supported or not. There’s more about that topic.

At Pressjitsu we rolled out full support for Let’s Encrypt at launch day, we actually had a party. We don’t use the LE client though, we have custom Python scripts that handle everything, including updating nginx configs for user nodes using our configuration templating and scheduling a certificate renewal job.

For our customers’ domains we never hit the current (or private beta) rate limiting since the requests originate from the customer node and each has a unique IP address.

That’s true, but you have to do something smart when 11 users request a certificate within 3 hours. Also afaik renewals count towards rate limiting as well, so that could potentially be a problem, but hey, you can always tunnel it through a different IP…

That’s why people should contact support before signing up to a hosting provider to confirm everything they are looking for. This is common sense. I’ve always talked to customer care before signing up because then I will actually know what I am getting. Maybe this isn’t common?

This list will never be perfect, but it’s better than having people asking who is supported over and over and over. Should we give a star based system for ease of setup?

novatrend.ch launched free SSL certificates based on Let’s Encrypt for all hosting customers. It’s well integrated in cpanel and customers can request and install the certificate with just one click. The certificate is automatically renewed in the background.
